Remestemcel-L
Donor bone marrow stromal cells given to children whose acute graft-versus-host disease no longer responds to steroids, the first mesenchymal stromal cell therapy approved in the United States.
Overview
Remestemcel-L is a suspension of culture-expanded mesenchymal stromal cells from the bone marrow of healthy adult donors. The cells dampen the T-cell attack on skin, gut and liver that defines acute graft-versus-host disease after an allogeneic stem cell transplant. The FDA approved it in December 2024 for steroid-refractory acute graft-versus-host disease in children aged two months and older, on a single-arm trial in which most children responded within a month. It is given intravenously twice a week for four weeks and is the first mesenchymal stromal cell product approved in the United States.
